Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Technical Paper from MAV08

[Pascal Brisset]

Hi,

I hope we did not write that GE is connected to the Ivy bus :-)

To use this feature, the server has to be run with the -kml option; then 
some .kml files are created in the var/aircraft directory .
The main one is FollowMe.kml which is only a link to the other files and 
directives for updating. This file is static. All the other files, 
except the fligh plan, are updated by the server and have to be served 
by an http server.
So a http server has to be started (from the Tools menu, configuration 
in var/boa.conf)

Then from GE, open the FollowMe.kml file. Open the corresponding folder 
and double-click on the fligh-plan object. You should see
the waypoints, the aircraft and the HOME safety circle. Some errors may 
occur because of the lack of syncronisation between  files writing (from 
the server) and reading (from GE) but it is not critical.

Martin Mueller also wrote some code to display a Paparazzi aircraft in a 
google maps window (in a standard navigator)

--Pascal

PS: For MAV08, we finally used a sheet of paper to edit the obstacles, 
mines, ... :-)
